Hawaii: Pub crawl!! (day 3)
Another late start to the day, we managed to find our way to Alamoana shopping center... IT'S HUGE!!! We went there 3 times and I didn't get to see the whole place, but I definitely did spend a lot of money there. I needed an energy boost that day and wasn't really up for shopping (shock horror) but even in my dazed state I think i still bought something (of course!). We headed back to the hotel early since we needed to get ready for the pub crawl that started at 7pm. We were both a little skeptical and apprehensive about this pub crawl...
We arrived at an underground pub and there were a few decent looking people around so we decided to stay... bron was in a shitty mood but still managed to make friends with a weird aussie couple from brisbane... they were newly weds on their honeymoon (not much to look at) and were going to pretend they were brother and sister for the evening, i knew from the moment they told me their plan that there would be trouble, but i kept my mouth shut, and who was i to butt into their affairs... I steered clear of them as much as i could for the rest of the evening, unfortunately bron didn't and got caught up in the consequences later in the night.
The pub crawl all in all was a lot of fun, except for some annoying guys who by the end of the evening i had the pleasure of setting straight (I am a terrible person I know, I just love deflating a guys bloated ego if they rub me off the wrong way, petty i know) Bron was on a roll and she met yet another man (or boy for that matter), I was doing my best to stay man free that night and did a fairly good job of it as well, knocking back many of them, i did settle on one boy (and i do emphasize boy!) who i thought i made clear i was just enjoying the chatting company and too tired by the end of the night (wondering around waikiki at 4am in the morning giving bron a little privacy before I went back to the hotel..) to knock back all his verbal come ons... thinking that I'd made a new friend, I said sure about having lunch with him the next day, until i woke up the next morning and realised in a more alert state that he wanted a date.... shit.... so using bron as a buffer zone I not so elegantly sent the boy on his way at lunch the next day. (feel kinda bad about that, but the boy just couldn't take the hint!)
